Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage hatchback with a clean mechanical record. This Auris shows exceptionally low usage and a history of passing MOT tests for its age.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, prioritize verifying the service history to ensure the low mileage is backed by regular oil changes. Since the car has covered only roughly 4,600 miles per year, check for any age-related wear on rubber components such as bushes and tyres, which can degrade even if the mileage is low.
Pay attention to the MOT failure in November 2025; although the car passed three days later, ask the seller what the specific defect was to ensure it was repaired correctly. Given the model's reputation for reliability, your main focus should be ensuring the car has been maintained consistently despite its low time on road.
The 1.6cc petrol engine is known for efficiency, typically falling into a mid-range insurance group and offering a reasonable fuel economy of around 40-45 MPG depending on driving style.
Maintenance costs for the Auris are generally low as parts are widely available. You should budget for an estimated annual running cost in the region of £800-£1,100, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine wear and tear items.
Focus on the brake system and wipers, as these are identified as common failure points for the Auris model in aggregate data. While this vehicle has a clean record, always check the thickness of the brake pads and look at the coil springs for any signs of sagging or corrosion when driving over bumps.
Given the low mileage, also inspect the interior for cracks in the dashboard or leather damage, which can occur on older cars that have spent long periods parked. Ensure all electrics operate correctly, as minor electronic glitches can sometimes appear on older models regardless of mileage.
This 2010 Toyota Auris is a rare find today, sitting at just 55,816 miles which is far lower than the national average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent record of passes, with only one minor failure in late 2025 that was rectified immediately within three miles. Its silver paint and 1.6-litre petrol engine make it a sensible, choice for those prioritising longevity over performance.
The Toyota Auris is widely regarded as highly reliable, with high MOT pass rates across thousands of samples in the UK database.
